Formal Relations

ICRP maintains formal relations with other organisations with an interest in radiological protection through specific agreements, or by granting Special Liaison status to organisations whose work is relevant to ICRP's mandate. Organisations currently in formal relations with ICRP are shown below.

Working-Level Engagement

To maintain active engagement with organisations in formal relations with ICRP, specific sessions are arranged at each ICRP Symposium to discuss concrete and timely topics with representatives of these organisations. In addition, opportunities are provided for representatives of organisations in formal relations with ICRP to meet with ICRP Main Commission members to discuss progress in areas of cooperation and mutual interest.

Representatives from organisations in formal relations with ICRP may be invited to provide expertise in specific ICRP Committee sessions. Representatives may also be invited to participate as members of ICRP Task Groups where their expertise is central to the objectives of the group.

High-Level Engagement

ICRP will arrange regular high-level meetings, inviting senior representatives of organisations in formal relations with ICRP to meet with the ICRP Chair and Main Commission members.

Applying for Special Liaison Organisation Status

Organisations are invited to apply for Special Liaison status by contacting ICRP Scientific Secretary Christopher Clement at sci.sec@icrp.org. Please provide relevant information about your organisation, and recommend who within your organisation would be the primary point of contact with ICRP.

Alternatively, we welcome discussions on entering into formal relations through other mechanisms, such as bi-lateral agreements.
